Payers
Diagram modified from Supachai Parchariyanon’s 4Ps Concept
• High bargaining
power
• Benefit with
improved quality in
fee-for-service
• Needs to satisfy many “bosses”
• Faces up-front costs in health IT
investments
• Long-term benefits depend on
payment schemes
• Require data for
policy-making
• Limited budget
• Often face
bureaucracies
• Highly political
• Concerns about resource allocation &
community’s well-being, but not
necessarily individual patients
• Directly benefits from
improved quality of care
• Knowledge gap between
patient & providers

Public Policy in Informatics: A US’s Case
1991: IOM’s CPR Report published
1996: HIPAA enacted
2000-2001: IOM’s To Err Is Human & Crossing the Quality Chasm published
2004: George W. Bush’s Executive Order establishing ONCHIT (ONC)
2009-2010: ARRA/HITECH Act & “Meaningful use” regulations
Political Support Behind Health IT
“...We will make wider use of electronic records and other
health information technology, to help control costs and
reduce dangerous medical errors.”

U.S. Adoption of Health IT
• U.S. lags behind other Western countries (Schoen et al, 2006;Jha et al, 2008)
• Money and misalignment of benefits is the
biggest reason
Ambulatory (Hsiao et al, 2009) Hospitals (Jha et al, 2009)
Basic EHRs w/ notes 7.6%
Comprehensive EHRs 1.5%
CPOE 17%
President Obama Backs Health IT
“...Our recovery plan will invest in electronic health records and new technology
that will reduce errors, bring down costs, ensure privacy, and save lives.”
President Barack Obama

Personal Health Records (PHRs)
“An electronic application through which individuals can
access, manage and share their health information, and that
of others for whom they are authorized, in a private, secure,
and confidential environment.” (Markle Foundation, 2003)
“A PHR includes health information managed by the
individual... This can be contrasted with the clinician’s record
of patient encounter–related information [a paperchart or
EHR], which is managed by the clinician and/or health care
institution.” (Tang et al., 2006)
Types of PHRs
Patient portal from a provider’s EHRs(“tethered” PHRs)
Online PHRs Stand-alone
Can be integrated with EHRs from multiple providers (unidirectional/bidirectional data sharing)
Stand-alone PHRs PC-based applications
USB Drive
CD-ROM or other data storage devices
Paper
PHRs and Other Systems
(Tang et al., 2006)
Ideal PHRs
Integrated
Accessible
Secure
Comprehensive
Accurate & current
Patient able to manage sharing & update information
Engaging & educational
User-friendly, culturally & literacy appropriate
The “Hub and Spoke” Model
(Kaelber et al., 2008)
Use Cases of PHRs
Data entry/update by patients
Data retrieval by providers
With patient’s consent
“Break-the-glass” emergency access
Data update from EHRs
